[quote=Anonymous]we were near a local ski place recently so popped in with our 3YO to ask if she was big enough for lessons.  they said probably not.  Their advice -- when kids can balance on one foot without holding on to anything they probably have the balance and coordination to learn skiing.  However they did suggest that it could be good to just put her on skis and pull  her around by a belt or tether that she holds or that goes around her waist so that she gets used to the equipment and the feel of being on snow. it wasn't worth the cost of us renting equipment to do that, but it's a thought.  I agree that you can also go Xcountry. Some places will have a sled-type ting for her that you can pull behind you, and you could try teaching Xcountry, which doesnt' have to involve hills. seems unfair to put her in daycare for several days while everyone else skis, unless she is a kid who will really enjoy it.  incidently we tried ice skating at 2 and it totaly didn't work but at 3 my daughter loved it. so maybe a resort with more than just downhill is your answer?
